Stand on 44th. Fuji X100. 23 mm. 1/125 sec f/16 @ ISO 2000. June 2013. Copyright 2013 Joanne Mason.
Some color … This street vendor’s stand was on East 44th St in New York City. There’s a plethora of these stands, seemingly at every corner in midtown.

Sydney Opera House. Panasonic LX-1. 12 mm. ISO 400. 1/1600 sec at f/7.1. Copyright 2013 Joanne Mason.
Here’s another old image as I continue cleaning out old drives. This is the iconic opera house in Sydney, NSW Australia. From almost any viewpoint and angle, the opera house is spectacular. But I think I like it best from a distance, as it rises from the landscape .

For a complete change of pace … Going through some old images on a hard drive. This is one of (in my opinion) the most exhilarating streets in one of the world’s coolest cities. This is Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, Melbourne. (Click for larger.)

“Ruinscapes” is a series of recent images of mostly abandoned buildings and spaces. These urban landscapes have been shot in various locations from Melbourne to Cambodia. In Zara Albion-Lawson’s envisioning, each image not only reflects past activity but captures a presence and vitality in an otherwise abandoned space. I hope you enjoy the gallery. If you enjoy these images, please leave a comment.

Photo by Bridget Fleming
This is a fabulous story. Australian photographer Bridget Fleming photographed bicyclists [mostly] from behind on the streets of lower Manhattan in New York City. Here is a story at Australian news site The Global Mail. The story includes a video interview with the photographer Fleming. Also, here is Fleming’s Tumblr site with all the photos; don’t miss it! Read this, you’ll love it!
Vivian Maier, from the Goldstein Collection
The images published to date, and which I saw in Santa Fe, were printed from negatives purchased by John Maloof. That was a huge collection. But another complete lot consisting of 18,000 negatives was purchased by Jeffrey Goldstein who is now beginning to publish the images from his collection.
This week, The New York Times, in their outstanding photoblog, Lens, is featuring a selection of images by Vivian Maier from this more recent Goldstein collection. The Times makes the interesting suggestion that the more we see of Maier’s work, the better it gets.
Go to →Lens at The New York Times here… Tab through one or two galleries to get to the Maier images. The Goldstein collection of Maier images has its website also, →here.

On my recent trip to Santa Fe, I walked into the →Monroe Gallery just off the Plaza and discovered a fascinating exhibition of black and white street photography by →Vivian Maier, “Vivian Maier: Discovered.”
